Individual devotees and priests typically maintain a small altar for the Lwa (or for a specific Lwa) in their homes as a focal point for prayer and meditation; here, they make private devotionals and frequent services to their personal mysteries. Properly, these home altars are called ogantwa or pe. On the ogantwa sit many of the same items found in the badji of the hounfò, including lithographs (or other representations of the Lwa), thunderstones, satin scarves of various colors, dolls, ceramic govi (lidded jars housing the Lwa), paket kongo, etc. There will likely also be a perpetual lamp of some kind.
